Just few promised words behind Smrikva ;)…
Smrikva Bowl mission is to inspire, develop and spread cosmopolitan values.
Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…
What does that mean?…
CULTURE, CHILDREN, SPORT and MUSIC are part of the Smrikva Bowl idea of the cosmopolitan world. It is a matter of civilization …
…a truly wise windy, product of imagination, once whispered… “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” (M.Y.)… and fairy tales seems to help that beauty…
… but I am sure you will cross in the future with the following opinion… “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” (A.E.)…
I noted that all of you are very calm during hard points… and usually in tennis game, as well as in many other fields, it does not matter what goes wrong but your reaction to it…
… we received special gifts for the Lucky Draw from… Dominic Thiem, Moritz Thiem, Donna Vekic, Katie Swan, Borna Coric, Viktoria Kuzmova, Nicola Kuhn, Miomir Kecmanovic, Alex De Minaur, Luca Appino, Miro Hrvatin, Alex and Miko Eala, Ivan and Matej Sabanov, Lorenzo Musetti, Carlos Alcaraz Garfia, Zvonimir Babic, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Lloyd Harris, Petra Martic…
… and their success could teach us how fear and anger are for the brain the same as cramps for the muscles…
and… what Master Yoda noted “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”…
… in tennis seems to be the same… if you want to win more… you master your skills and believe in your game ;)
There are different ways to look at sport. There are different ways to look at music, culture, love and also to children.
The vision of sport preferred in Smrikve can be described and extended to: culture, music and children using the following Nelson Mandela – Madiba’s words…
… “Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”
… a wise men living in China 2500 years ago once observed… “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.” …
hmmm… sounds very interesting… hm hm :)
an interesting opinion…
… and to set your heart right you need good characters… those who wish to contribute to the greater public good had to begin by working on themselves…
… only then they will see progress radiate out from their personal circles to society at large…
Today is the semifinals day…
the BRIONI Islands Day…
and IGRA GAME Day :D…
a lot to do and a lot to see ;)….
GO SMRIKVA GO!!! :D
FEW WORDS ABOUT L…
The strongest force among human beings is named “Love”. Love can be very powerfull but can also be very painfull force.
THE LITTLE PRINCE…by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry… is a very special book that every person at different age read differently.
It is a book that last over time and was likely the last love gift Antoine de Saint-Exupéry made to his wife Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry.
Over time this book was translated in many different languages thus become a love gift for many generations around the world.
It is a children’s book writen for the olders… I like many parts of it… especially the description that Antoine make of the adult people…
the description of the moment when the rose was born… the importance of the right orders on the King’s planet…
“you never know” statement…
the meeting with the wise fox…
the smiling stars and many other parts…
Only best friends, when they trust each other, do share their deep knowledge…
and once The Little Prince and the fox created such a special relationship the fox shared a secret with him…
“Goodbye, said the fox. And now here is my secret, a very simple secret.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry beleived that: Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.…
“Ljubav ne zahtjeva da dvoje ljudi gledaju jedno u drugo, već da zajedno gledaju u istom pravcu”.

Some pictures of the 24th Smrikva Bowl 2019 actors... taken during the third day of their Smrikva Bowl... the day when they start super IGRA game... pictures to share Smrikva Bowl Library story...
Third Smrikva Bowl day is the day when the IGRA game start… and is also the day when the quarterfinalist of the edition start to be known…
Third day is also the FORUM day… knowledge sharing day…
I am pleased to take the opportunity to share a bit of the story of our Library with the actors of the third day…
It was 2009 when we started to build the Smrikva Bowl library… and each Smrikva Bowl player was requested to bring with him a cultural book that will remember his stay in Smrikve and will represent his culture of origin that one day guests of Smrikve will be able to consult, enjoy and discover…
With this year edition Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors are spread in 87 countries and all the continents… and the library reached over 1000 books from over 70 countries…
Historically their task was to search the talented kids in their countries of origin and invite them to play the Smrikva Bowl but from this year they are also our Cultural Ambassadors…
Cultural Ambassadors is both spreading the Smrikva idea and spreading the ISTRIA from SMRIKVE E-book… the cultural e-book for travelers…
It was shared yesterday with kids that the old olive tree Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors plant every year is a symbol of friendship and intergenerational responsibility and Smrikva Bowl’s idea of children, sport, music and culture that are able to pass all frontiers are incorporated in the creation of this Smrikva Bowl Library.
…in some languages… the word generations means also history… and in my first book on European Union and Cosmopolitan Democracy I come to a simple conclusion that we are those who represent the current civilization.
O yes ;)… this is an important concept…
Today people live an average of about 80 years. What we call civilization is mostly made up of the human knowledge we have accumulated until today, which our institutions pass onto future generations.
there is a big importance of a quality book… o yes ;)
They represent a great human memory that can help us understand what we see combined with cumulated personal experience of our daily lives. But given the fragility of the circle of life it is very easy for people to ignore these facts and lose sight of our human knowledge. It takes just a few generations to lose this great heritage ;)
I’d like to observe that we have gotten used to rapid technological progress, but social and civil progress is slower and more complex. Humans learn throughout their whole lifetime, from books and schools, but we also mostly learn from our personal experiences.
I just wish to say that Smrikva Bowl’s more then tennis is something you find above… hm… not only tennis… music… culture… children… sport… four interesting pillars…
Smrikva Bowl mission is to develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people…
Friendship… is long term trust… and long term bridge… always takes time to get built… and always require maintenance ;)…
… and IGRA game is spreading… it is reaching different places… different continents…
… with music… run… play… and say “IGRA” :)

The day when I become SMRIKVA BOWL Ambassador - 24th Smrikva Bowl 2019 generation
Today a bit after 8:00 PM the Smrikva Bowl players of this year edition became Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors… the ceremony started at 6:00 PM…
I am pleased to repeat the story of the Smrikva Bowl Olive Trees traditionally planted in Smrikve… being this moment one of the most important parts of the Smrikva Bowl story…
In 2005, for the 10th Smrikva Bowl anniversary, we started a tradition of planting an Olive tree… The Olive tree selected was at the beginning older than the oldest man living on the earth today. The tree that we planted for the 10th Smrikva Bowl was over 150 years old…
…during the ceremony, every Ambassador put a tiny piece of land close to the root of the Olive tree and say his or her name. This way the tree gets their names…
This year again was the name and a Grand Slam ;)… the children know the story…
During the ceremony of the 24th Smrikva Bowl Olive Tree Generation… the tree received new names…
… Olive tree is a symbol of peace… but the age of the tree means intergenerational responsibility…
Every person is born without knowing anything about life on this earth and it is the responsibility of every generation to understand and to learn to preserve all that each of us is born with… :)
… The Lion King cartoon is an artwork and most of the life messages one can find in it are in line with the Smrikva Bowl founding ideas… ;) Life messages you find in Lion King are in line with the message of the Ambassadors’ Olive Tree; they are in line with the values of friendship and love; they are in line with empathy…
… Love, friendship and empathy are all Cosmopolitan values per excellence, as far as people and humanity are concerned… it is true that the relationship between Mufasa, Sarabi and Simba reminds me of both: parents and family love, but also about the intergenerational responsability.
Timon, Pumbaa and Simba relationship reminds me about love between friends. Pumbaa also make me think abuout empathy, intuition and loyalty and the relationship between Simba and Nola reminds me again about the importance of love… :)
Rafiki, the wise old baboo, with his many centuries old tree reminds me about the importance of knowledge and experience of the older… that there are many other particular moments that every person on its own, based on his or her own life experience, discover by watching these artworks.
You might be interested to know that most of the characters’s names in this cartoon have a particular meaning in Swahili language…
Simba means “lion”… Nala means “gift”, and love is for me one of the greatest gifts that people can receive and give during their life
Sarabi means “mirage”… Pumbaa means “dull-witted” or “stunned”… and Rafiki means “friend” :)… These names with their meanings make me think of the American Indians and the way they used to give the names to their people.
As I wrote at the beginning of today’s article every person is born without knowing anything about life on this earth and it is the responsibility of every generation to understand and to learn, to preserve all that each of us is born with.
When Mufasa was explaining to Simba that is not easy to be the King… he tried to explain that a good King should know that everything around us lives in a delicate equilibrium and with intelligence we should try to understand it and respect it…
is true that every generation face new challenges but there are many examples in the past how the old generations managed and solved particular problems… ;) and this is why… knowledge, human curiosity and will to learn are important…
It was another long Smrikva day… ended with a Grand Slam dream victory and good LEDO ice cream at the end :)… everybody wished to make true their dream ;)
Tomorrow is the new day… IGRA game day… it is the day to choose IGRA partners…
and the FORUM day… the 24ht Smrikva Bowl generation will discover the IGRA game…
GO SMRIKVA GO :D… with LEDO ice cream award GO :D
Tomorrow we will learn and experience something new again :)

Smrikva Bowl Mission is a Dream...
Not many years from now there will be much more Smrikva Bowl players among professional players…
As of June 16th, 2019 their track record includes the following:
- 31 junior GRAND SLAM titles conquered by 24 players
- 33 professional ATP/WTA titles
- 45 players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking => 21 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking => 5 players reached TOP 20 ATP/WTA => 2 players reached TOP 10 ATP/WTA ranking
- 77 players are this week holding a ATP/WTA ranking…
- 150+ SB players received scholarships to study in the US & play tennis.
… and there will be much more who will graduate all around the World…
Smrikva Bowl dream is that may they all stand together for something “MORE THAN TENNIS”…
“If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.”
Smrikva Bowl mission is to inspire, develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…
CULTURE, CHILDREN, SPORT and MUSIC are part of the Smrikva Bowl idea of the cosmopolitan world. It is a matter of civilization …
A wise wind, product of imagination, once whispered… “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” (M.Y.)… and fairy tales seems to help that beauty…
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” (A.E.)…
Usually in tennis game it does not matter what goes wrong but your reaction to it…
Fear and anger are for the brain the same as cramps for the muscles… and as Yoda noted “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”… like in tennis, so similar seems to be life…
There are different ways to look at sport. There are different ways to look at music, culture, love and also to children.
The vision of sport preferred in Smrikve can be described and extended to: culture, music and children using the following Nelson Mandela – Madiba’s words:
“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”

"Smrikve theatre stage" for the "seeds of the Legends" is entering final phase of the preparations...24th Smrikva Bowl 2019 edition...
21st of September, on Smrikva Bowl Ambassador’s Day, we traditionally start to receive candidacies from all around the World… and after 9 months… at the end of June the talents of the year gather together… it is the 24th annual… and so many of the kids who honored us with their visit are writing beautiful tennis pages with their rackets around the World…
As of June 11th, 2019 their track record includes the following:
- 31 junior GRAND SLAM titles conquered by 24 players
- 33 professional ATP/WTA titles
- 45 players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking => 21 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking => 5 players reached TOP 20 ATP/WTA => 2 players reached TOP 10 ATP/WTA ranking
- 150+ SB players received scholarships to study in the US & play tennis…
… with all the above Smrikva continue to dream to be always something more than tennis…
I am please to recall parts of an article written at the beginning of 2010… when I compared for the first time Smrikva Bowl to a theater stage…
… When I think of Smrikva Bowl I try to imagine it as a theatre where every year we work hard to set the stage where the world’s talents can gather… Every year we gather all this different actors, great talents, very special kids, arriving from different cultures, having different dreams,…
We set the stage and later on they are in charge with their will, dreams and hard work… they are the ones who write the most different stories…
Smrikva Bowl is still very young tournament but I would like to think that some of these kids will write… inspiring stories in most different professional fields.
I also know that according to the statistics only few of the kids participating Smrikva Bowl will make it to become top professional tennis players, but I like to think that they will make it in other professional fields they choose in their lives.
I read Andre Agassi’s book and through the whole book he was repeating to friends and people meeting… that he doesn’t like tennis thus it seems to me that he never had the option to choose, but in end he ended up being the Champion and according to Luke Jensen a person with big heart and very good friend.
I will never know how many kids playing Smrikva Bowl are playing it because their parents would like them to become professional tennis players and how much of them play it because they enjoy the game.
What I do know is that any kind of sport can help kids in their growth and I also know that people that do excel in any field require total dedication and a lot of sacrifice to reach the excellence.
When I think of Andre’s words of not loving what he was doing for most of the time of his life I start thinking of other 90% of people around the World that make for living doing jobs they do not like, but “La vita e’ bella” Roberto Benigni would say and tennis helped Andre to grow up.
There is one part in the book that I liked a lot… it is about inspiration, faith and what does it mean to be a good coach… to have the right word in the right moment… this part is related with Gil… and is about people that do believe in other people and help them to write their life stories and to write their own one…
Here are Gil’s words reported by Andre in his book when he accepted to coach him:
“I’m not one of those people who expresses or articulates feelings very well, but from now on, just know this: It’s on, man. It is on.
You know what I’m saying? We are in a fight, and you can count on me until the last man is standing. Somewhere up there is a star with your name on it. I might not be able to help you find it, but I’ve got pretty strong shoulders, and you can stand on my shoulders while you’re looking for that star. You hear? For as long as you want. Stand on my shoulders and reach, man. Reach.”
In every life there are people that influence what we do and how we do it.
The Smrikva Bowl festival dream to inspire its players and Ambassadors to believe in their dreams and work hard to reach them.
Sport and music are in general good educators and the vision of sport preferred in Smrikve is the one Nelson Mandela once said:
“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”
There are over thousands of stories written every week by Smrikva seeds in over 90 countries and all the continents… :) and very soon I will have the pleasure to meet over 100 new seeds of the 24th SMRIKVA BOWL 2019 edition from all the continents again…

SB Heritage Olive Oil - "seeds of the Legends" Limited edition section was created
Smrikve, 28th of April 2019
In 2005, for the 10th Smrikva Bowl anniversary, we started a tradition of planting an Olive tree during our Smrikva Bowl Ambassador’s nomination ceremony.
The Olive tree selected are traditionally older then our players. The age of the tree is a symbol of intergenerational responsibility. Every person is born without knowing anything about life on this earth and it is the responsibility of every generation to understand and to learn to preserve all that each of us is born with.
14 generations (over 1440 players) had their olive trees when the story of limited collections started. The children who planted our olives makes the collection bottles so special.
Since Smrikva Bowl foundation back in 1996 over 1930 players from 87 countries and 6 continents participated and on the first 14 collection bottles representing 14 generations was written the following:
Smrikva Bowl was founded in 1996 and over 1930 players from 87 countries and 6 continents participated so far. In 2005 Smrikva Bowl players started to plant olive trees. 14 generations (over 1440 players) have their olive tree in Smrikve.
As of 18/03/2019, their track record* is:
• 30 (23) junior Grand Slam titles conquered by 23 (17) players
• 30 (13) professional ATP/WTA titles
• 45 (31) players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking & 21 (15) players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking
• 150+ (100+) players received scholarships to study in the US
Note – In brackets: 14 olive trees generations track record
Collection bottles are tracked and so far are spread as follows:
2019 “Seeds of the Legends” Heritage Olive Oil Limited edition
1 of 14 – Smrikve
3 of 14 – Pieragostini family
5 of 14 – Podlipnik family
Thank you for supporting our dream.
The tradition of collecting heritage Smrikva Bowl olive trees will start in autumn 2019 after the Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Week.
